Summary
In this chapter, we covered an introduction to Azure Synapse and how can you create your first Azure Synapse workspace. After going through the sample scripts, you should have a fairly good idea about how Azure Synapse Studio works, and some of the different languages supported by Azure Synapse. We also discussed the differences between Azure SQL Data Warehouse and Azure Synapse. You learned about pausing and resuming a SQL pool, as well as automatic pausing of a Spark pool, which will save you some money if implemented.
In the next chapter, we will begin to look at specific analytics runtimes you need to understand and create your first Spark and SQL pool.
